Opinion: New York Rangers Continue to Struggle Defensively

Despite trading their former captain Jacob Trouba and signing their franchise goaltender Igor Shesterkin to an 8-year, $92 million contract extension, the sloppy play on the ice by the New York Rangers has not changed.

Opinion: The Rangers Are a Broken Hockey Team Right Now

There might still be a lot of hockey left to be played this season, but with the way the New York Rangers are playing right now, the end might come sooner than everyone thinks. Yes, the Rangers still have a winning record of 12-9-1. Yes, the Rangers are somehow still in a playoff spot, and […]

Opinion: Current Record Not a Reflection of the Rangers’ Play This Season

Everything went right for the New York Rangers last season. They finished first in the Metropolitan Division, Eastern Conference, and the entire NHL. The only thing that would have made it better is if they had won the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1994. Fast forward to this season and the Blueshirts are […]
